Commentary on Jeremiah 6:18

Theological / Devotional

Therefore. That is, because the Israelites had closed their ears to severe warning as well as to friendly admonition.

Nations. Heb. goyim (see on ch. 1:5). The prophet summoned the Gentiles as witnesses to God’s judgment upon His people (see Isa. 1:2).

Congregation. Probably the Gentiles assembled, figuratively, as a jury. These nations were called upon to hear the sentence “upon this people,” Israel (v. 19).

What is among them. Meaning either (1) the height of their wickedness and perversity, or (2) the greatness of their punishment in consequence of their depravity.
